Daniel Goleman
Ecological Intelligence
How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything
Broadway Books, 2009
¿De qué se trata?
Well-informed shoppers want ecologically sound products, so companies that furnish both data and green goods will benefit.
Recommendation
The manufactured world has produced incredible variety, luxury and convenience, but at what cost to the environment and to human bodies? Emotional intelligence expert Daniel Goleman persuasively argues for “radical transparency” about environmental impact. He says that if people could see at a glance the harm that the products they buy wreak upon the earth and human health, they would make ecologically sounder choices. Goleman asserts that such transparency would add to the legions of eco-conscious consumers, help the environment and even boost corporate profits. Though it is not as tightly written as his previous books, getAbstract recommends this compelling, detailed work of advocacy for marketplace transparency. Goleman works hard to prove that it is an idea whose time has come.
